Coloured bath resurfacing in Houlton

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Houlton

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Houlton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

When to call us in Houlton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Houlton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Houlton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Houlton

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
